5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study plans to learn more about how sleep loss impacts the way the body responds to sugar. This work will have important implications for development of treatments and countermeasures for people who are not able to get enough sleep for various reasons.
Detailed Description
Participants will stay in the hospital for 6 days and will not be able to leave. Sleep habits will be measured for 7 days before the study. A research diet that is designed to maintain weight will be provided for 3 days before the study and during the study. Multiple tests will be performed, including metabolic testing and muscle and fat biopsies, both when participants first arrive and have had normal sleep and again after 4 nights of only 5 hours time in bed. The visit takes place at the Clinical Translational Research Center (CTRC) at the University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical campus. It will take approximately 2 weeks to complete this study.
